2nd Summer School a Success

The 2nd Annual North American Mass Spectrometry Summer School, which took place from July 21-24 at the Wisconsin Institute for Discovery, was a success.

The event’s goal was to encourage and stimulate a community of scientists who are interested in mass spectrometry, plants and human health. This included tutorial and research lectures, workshops and a poster viewing session. Topics ranged from data analysis, chromatography and PTMs, to data integration, intellectual property and spectral interpretation, among others.

Featured speakers included Joshua Coon from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Ulrike Kusebauch from the Institute for Systems Biology, Beatrix Ueberheide from the New York University School of Medicine, Lingjun Li from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Judit Villen from the University of Washington, and Evan Williams from the University of California-Berkley, among many others.

Summer School was followed by the 11th Annual MaxQuant Summer School, which took place from July 24-26 in the same location. Students were able to attend one or both events.

Next year’s summer school will take place June 15-18.

Article selected for Journal of Biological Chemistry 2018 Collection

The Mitok/Coon/Attie article “Islet proteomics reveals genetic variation in dopamine production resulting in altered insulin secretion” was selected as the representative ‘Genomics and proteomics’ article for the Journal of Biological Chemistry 2018 Retrospective Collection called “The year in JBC: 2018.” When choosing the representative articles, the journal editors considered hundreds of papers to come up with what they felt best represented the exciting advances reported in JBC last year.
